Took me around an hour and fifteen instead of the usual 45 minutes by Metro. Held up for a while because of single-tracking... though I had an amusing announcer who gave us a play-by-play of everything he was doing and thinking. They had to bypass Federal Center (don't know if they've restored service to that station yet).

For my commute from Col Hgts metro to Union station, it took me perhaps 10-15 minutes longer due to the red line derailment at Faragut North.

Instead for waiting at Gallery Place for the next red line headed to Glenmont (a wait of 17 minutes for a two stop trip), I checked my NextBus DC app on my iPhone and saw that the northbound 80 bus was arriving in 2 minutes so I grabbed that one to North Capitol and Massachusetts Ave. Lo and behold the app was right on the money and the bus ride over was super smooth.

For my commute from Columbia Heights Metro to New Carrolton, my normal hour metro ride was 1 hour and 50 minutes. L'Enfant Plaza was extremely crowded on the blue and orange lines, because they were single tracking and lots of riders transfer there.
